Today I’ll tell you all about the recent addition to my MAC lipstick collection, and a new favorite. I’ve always found it difficult to find a sheer, nude/peachy lipstick that looked nice with my skin tone. I picked up Shy Girl some time a go, and I’ve been reaching for it quite often lately, especially when using very light bases such as tinted moisturizers or BB creams.
Shy Girl is a creamy, neutral/peachy beige nude with a Cremesheen finish, it’s also one of MAC’s top sellers. I love Cremesheen finish lipsticks, especially how smooth they apply and how comfortable they feel on my lips. Shy Girl is no exception, although I find that I do need to exfoliate my lips before applying this, because it tends to settle in the little lines on my lips and does accentuate dry skin. Shy Girl is also on a sheer side, which I love because it means that I can apply it even when I’m in a hurry, without the need of a lip liner or a mirror. It lasts for about 2-3 hours one me, much longer when paired with MAC’s lip primer.
I think that Shy Girl is a shade similar to another everyday favorite of mine: Pure Zen. Shy Girl definitely has more peachy tones, while Pure Zen looks slightly more pink.

Have any of you guys tried Shy Girl? Maybe you know of other peachy nudes from MAC I should try?
